Intern – City of Medford, Office of Energy & Environment

Energy & Environment Committee Intern – City of Medford, Office of Energy & Environment

The City of Medford is looking for an intern to support the Energy & Environment Committee. The Committee works in conjunction with the Medford Office of Energy and the Environment to support the City’s goals of energy independence and environmental stewardship. Members provide additional technical and consulting expertise to the City and organize energy and environmental related projects, events and programs to benefit the residents of Medford. The Committee is comprised of Medford residents who bring a variety of expertise to the city, particularly in the areas of energy efficiency, clean energy, community outreach and education.

Interested applicants must be able to attend the Committee’s monthly meetings, on the first Monday of each month from 6-8PM. The intern would take minutes at the meeting and help identify tasks that they could take on to support the work of the committee.  This might include helping to schedule subcommittee meetings using tools such as Doodle, updating documents and websites needed by the committee, researching information to support the committee’s programs and serving as a central hub for collecting documents and information.  The position may also support the Go Green Medford Coalition and other sustainability organizations.

The qualified applicant will be a self-starter, able to work independently and able to work in an interrupt-driven environment. The intern will work out of Medford’s Office of Energy & Environment and may provide additional help to the Office as time and workload permits. The position is expected to be a minimum of 8 hours a week, and at least some of the hours would be during official City Hall hours to allow coordination with the Office and other interns. Strong preference will be given to someone who can start in the spring and continue in the fall, with the potential for part-time or full-time summer employment.

Compensation of $11/hour is available for this position, through the City of Medford or Tufts Federal Work-Study. Located in Medford’s City Hall in Medford Square, we are a 15-20 minute walk or bus ride from Tufts campus or a 5 minute bike-ride. The Office is open Mon, Tue & Thurs 8:30-4:30, Wed 8:30-7:30pm and Fri 8:30-12:30.

Interested applicants should email a copy of your resume, and letter of interest to Alicia Hunt, Director of Energy & Environment, at ahunt@medford-ma.gov
